there can be some reasons for this:

- some customers are simply only using the 2nd dns
- he wants to register new domains with rather paranoid
  registries which are checking for 2 dns servers
- he has a registry which checks consisteny of the delegated
  domains (eg RIPE with the in-addr.arpa´s 
  http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/pub-services/stats/revdns/zcheck/ranking16.html)

not all registries are so lame like internic and arin...

this is probably the best solution because you can take
all the zones and configuration and simply move it to/fro
your (then) only server.

just my 2 cents,
